While I was expecting Movie Bob to review this, I was hoping for his opinion on Get Him to the Greek. I read The Chronicle, and this paper gave it a good review. Now I don't necessarily like all the Chronicles reviews, but they have it a 5/5, which I haven't seen in a while, especially for a comedy. Wish Movie Bob would write counter arguments for other articles, I'd read that in a heart beat.
Here's the review for those interested,

I'm going to assume by "this year's District 9" you mean an above-average if critically over-rated recycling of genre cliches (even though I know you don't) that dips in quality after the middle of Act 2 yet remains enjoyable. In all seriousness: sign me up to see this!
BTW no year when Kick-ass is released is a bad year for movies. Yeah I realise it was out months ago, but despite being an indie film it's just as much of an example of the system working as this will be.

Don't you think moviebob is going to write an upcoming "Intermission" about wierd/hot looking things in movies that end up on deviant art?
Never even heard of this movie. Guess that means it'll be a few months until it actually comes out here in the UK. Seriously, is it just me or are we brits really getting a longer and longer gap between Americans getting the movie and then us. Up was practically out on DVD in America by the time it arrived here <_<
Wow, i must see this. I haven't heard a thing about this, plus i can't find it anywhere on Odeon in the UK. Is it coming out in the UK?
I just got back from seeing Splice after seeing this review. It was on my radar but not too high, and I was going to wait for DVD. This review changed my mind and was not disappointed from seeing it in theater. My roommate and I will typically on the way back to the car talk about plot problems, you know, what didn't work or didn't make sense. We were virtually silent on the way, he mentioned getting refills of our drinks on the way out. It was that damn solid. Anything we thought of as problematic on the ride home was mostly quibbling about what we would've done differently in their situation.
Nice review, but honestly, has movie bob ever said a movie was bad? It feels like he ends every review with 'go watch this movie'. Personally, this movie tends to veer away from all the high brow stuff he talked about, and just goes towards horror movie at the end. It's not bad, but it's not all that good.
